Abstract

Since 2011, Government of Semarang City has planned the construction of a rail-based Mass Public Transportation System. This discourse is getting closer to realization in mid-2018, where the Semarang government sets Light Rail Transit (LRT) as the rail-based Mass Public Transportation System that will be implemented in 2019. Various opinions of the pros and cons rise due to the realization of this issue, in the midst of the slight number of public transport users in Semarang. This paper is a preliminary study that reviews the preferences of Semarang residents using Bus rapid Transit (BRT) to the LRT, with respondents coming from existing public transport users, such as Trans Semarang. Trans Semarang is the name of Bus Rapid Transit system in Semarang. The stated preference model between LRT with existing public transport vehicles used binomial logit analysis by considering the effect of changes in travel time and tariff. Based on the analysis of the preferences of Trans Semarang users on LRT, there are four conditions, namely: (1) When the LRT has the same travel time as Trans Semarang, the probability of LRT selection is 38.2%. (2) When the LRT is 60 minutes faster than Trans Semarang, the probability of choosing the LRT increase to 43.5 percent. (3) When the LRT tariff is the same as Trans Semarang, the probability of the LRT election is 39%. (4) When the LRT travel fare is Rp.10,000.00 higher than Trans Semarang, the probability of the LRT election decreases to 25.6%.
